Marcus Pointe Golf Club tumbles across 600 acres of rolling woodlands, which is a rare occurrence in the mostly flat Panhandle area. The back nine is where golfers really begin to notice the dramatic undulations. Earl Stone, who has designed several Gulf Coast golf courses, created the layout. He has built his reputation on building playable and affordable courses. While water may not come into play often, golfers will still be kept on their toes by the numerous sand bunkers and an abundance of trees and of course, the tricky angles and elevation changes throughout. The golf course is challenging but fair with a playability that appeals to golfers of all skill levels. The greens are well manicured and keep all abilities in mind. Four sets of tees make Marcus Pointe Golf Club even more accessible.

Fairway distress

I often play m p and was surprised at the condition of the fairways they looked more like the rough than a fairway

The greens line fine but I’ve never seen their fairways so distressed

Fun Course

Played this course for $14.00 on a hot deal! Can’t beat that price for 18. There were a few fairways that were poorly kept and looked like they hadn’t been cut in weeks. The greens were consistent and I enjoyed the layout. I’d recommend this course for the right price and skill set.

maintenance problems

Several fairways were overgrown with weeds and clearly had not been cut in quite some time, and the greens were very slow. Play was started for early Tee times on number 10 then later on number one. As my group made the turn there was a group ahead of us waiting for a group in front of them, both of which had just started their round.

Marcus Pointe

First time playing this course. Trying to enjoy some of the courses in my new hometown. Some of the reviews over the last month or so weren’t great, but for $20 and within 5 miles of my house, I gave it a go before the sun came beating down on everyone. The greens have caught some flack from reading up, but I think that’s mostly due to the drought/heat combo we have had. The rain the last two weeks and a fresh cut this morning had them rolling and looking nice. Was actually impressed after reading the last month of reviews. The layout was nice, but nothing too crazy. No driver needed for those errant off the tee. I don’t recall seeing any water either. The bunkers that line most greens were okay. I hit out of two going for Par 5’s and the sand was soft and looked taken care of. Most holes looked great and the facilities and practice areas were above Par, but the reviews about some of the fairways were spot on. I can’t recall the hole, but one was mostly overgrown with something that looked like rough and there was construction/dirt on one hole on the back. For $20 and the recent heat wave we have had, the course was solid though and I will definitely add it to my new rotation since moving down here. It needs some love in some areas and I showed that with my 4/5 rating, but it’s not as bad today as some of the previous reviews from a month ago made it out. Pace of play was great and the only two groups ahead of me let me play through since i was a single. I had the back 9 to myself. Very nice course and very scoreable.

Greens are improving

The greens have improved considerably since I last played here several weeks ago; they're quite a bit slower than normal for Marcus Pointe. There are still bare dirt patches on several greens but for the most part they aren't an issue. #3 fairway is in very poor condition with about as much dirt as there is grass. The fairways on the front 9 are being overtaken by invasive grass but they are still playable for now; some herbicide is needed very soon. The course is a good value for the summer rate of $29. The only big negative for our experience was that we had to wait on the tee box at #10, #11, and #18 for the groundskeeper to drive past and down the fairway where he flushed the sprinklers at each of the greens. We had to wait for the sprinklers to stop before hitting our approach shots, and the fresh water made these three greens completely inconsistent with the rest of the course. The back 9 was practically empty so we couldn't understand why there was a rush to jump in front of us to flush the sprinklers.

Misled

Was told greens beautiful and got the front 9 with dew all over and worm mounds all over greens then got to back 9 and they just got sand all over greens. It used to be one of my favorites but never again. Oh forgot to tell about some fairways so long it had to be a week or more since they mowed. Sad!
